Shen Liuyun is a field agent of the Xunyang Political Investigation Bureau, and Gu Tian is an analyst of the Archives Department. The two were arranged by their superiors to work as partners to take over an empty container case at the dock. A batch of military communication equipment shipped from the cloud disappeared during the handover, leaving only a fake paper ball on the person who connected it.
Shen Liuyun used the reason of investigating the case to pursue the past three years ago-his former partner Yang Zheng died that year, and the murderer still has no name. Gu Tian was also staring at a file from three years ago. Because of that case, she was demoted from the field to the basement digging through old files. Both people are investigating the same thing at the same time, but they don't know that the other is investigating.
The deeper the case goes, the more fragmentary things are encountered: the old pawnbroker's account book, the old badge with the word "Hai", the photos taken on the Egret, and the half-character "" written on the back of the bank note and then stopped. All clues point in the same direction - a ship called the Egret. It is parked in the middle of the Jinjiang River, without docking, without flags, and the government offices on the shore cannot control it.
This book is about two people who took over a case and found that the past events they had been pursuing for many years were all tied up in the same boat. They can only move forward, the boat is waiting for no one.
